Temples, yes, certainly a lot of that in Macau as well. Went to the famous A-Ma Temple, the oldest in Macau dating as far back as 1488. Quite a lot of tourists, I think mostly from China. Saw the NaCha Temple as well. From the various tour sheets, the NaCha temple is listed as next to the Ruins of St. Paul, but on our final day, when a few of us went our separate ways either to shop or take in further sights, I came across another temple supposedly also to NaCha, but the "ChiuPhai" or signboard said "Old Temple of NaCha", so I guess I saw two different ones. One of the movies I recall when young was the story of NaCha, saw it in the movie and was fascinated with the story of a young kid ascending to godhood.In Macau itself, the grand architecture, with European influence, and signboards also in Portugese!, certainly delights. A cosmopolitan city filled with tourists, and locals providing a nice blend. I thought the weekend at Senado Square was too crowded, but other days was fine. Better for picture taking without the large crowd.
One of the evenings, we even managed to cover Macau's Fisherman's Wharf. It's a different place at night, especially with the monuments being lit. However, couldn't walk the whole length of the place as most of my friends' were suffering from walking fatigue.Certainly interesting are the many alleyways, I call them hidden gems, as each is unique in itself. Many who venture to Macau perhaps miss these, and will miss the various small shops or eateries promising salivating food and what nots.
Food? I left out food in Macau?!! What de..!! Don't fret! Coming up next, together with the famous Venetian!
